  1. Timeline

    Love the timeline feature, but I wish each item included the client name as well as what was changed.

  2. default values for every field

    Kindly enhance the system where i can setup default values for many of the fields For example, if i want a particular team to be given access or notified most of the time, I should be able set that as a default instead of selecting the same every time i create a task or opportunity. Ability to select defaults should be provide to most if not ALL fields.

  4. Improve contact search.

    When I search for a client using first and last name, it won't show results if the contact card has a middle initial and i didn't type that in.

    For example, if the contact card says, "John Q. Smith" and I search for "John Smith" no results come up.

    Can we also have it show suggestions/similar names? If I don't know how to spell a name and am only off by one letter, can it suggest names like Google does?

    Ex: If I search for Smoth, could it say, "showing results for "Smith" instead."

    Some people have terrible names that…

  5. Ability to send broadcast email as the advisor

    Instead of my advisor having to log in and send out the broadcast emails, it would be better if there was a way to "send as" so the broadcast emails come from my advisor and not me.

  6. When I click "Go back to search Results", take me down to the record I was working on, instead of taking me to the top of the list.

    I have 150 records to change and I have to keep scrolling down to find where I left off. If you could auto-scroll down the alphabet and highlight the last record I changed it would make large volume micro-adjustments easier.

  7. When searching text in notes, search comments as well.

    When filtering text in notes to find a word or phrase, the text in comments is not searched. Comment text should be searched as well.

  8. Calandar: Monthly View "At a Glance"

    When looking at the calendar view (monthly), it would be beneficial to be able to view the entire month "at a glance" opposed to just the current 3 weeks. As it stands, you have to scroll down to see the 4th (or 5th) week. There is plenty of real estate on that page and you should be able to see the entire month.

    Also, it would be nice to have the ability to group Saturday and Sunday next to each other in the weekly and monthly views as opposed to having the weekends broken up on both sides of the…

  9. Contact Permission Checkbox

    When adding Contact Permissions, it would be much easier to select what users/teams need to have permission with a checkbox list than to click "Add", select one, click "Add Permission," then go do it all over again for as many need to be assigned.

  10. ABILITY TO INCLUDE INSURANCE POLICIES ON CRM

    On the left hand side include a place where we can enter insurance policies (life, LTC, DI, etc) and annuities held. This would show a more complete financial view of client/household. I am happy to submit a template for information.

  12. phonetic field for names

    There should be a phonetic pronunciation field for client names, one for each first, middle, and last name, so new client service workers don't butcher saying a clients name.

  14. Contact name should show first for activities

    The name of the contact should be the first thing we enter for a new activity. We prefer to use a simple flow:

    • Who's it for?
    • What's it about?
    • Who's owns the activity?

    When we open a calendar entry, the first thing that shows up is the Subject when the first thing we want to see is the Contact. Also, when our calendar gets full and appointments are stacked, we don't see names. It would be nice to see the client first from the Add Activity screen through the "More Details" screen for the activity.

    Maybe this can be achieved…

  15. Automations - "Added by" option

    We have 50+ users in our database. I would like to automate servicing advisor field based on "Added by" as follows:

    Trigger Contact Added> "Added by" Equals < e.g.Joe Advisor > "Set Field" > Servicing Advisor to < Joe Advisor>

    I currently have permission automations based on Contact Added and Servicing Advisor but Advisors are forgetting that they need to put the servicing advisor to trigger the automation. So using the Added by option would help those folks who forget so it fully automated much of the processes.

  16. Email Notification (Activity Assigned)

    I like receiving team notification emails, however when I received activity that is not assigned to me the email reads "You have been assigned a new activity". Please bring back the email notifications the way they were in the OLD REDTAIL CRM. For instance, the person who created the activity/note name is in the FROM, and the Subject reads, "New Activity Team Notification" (not assigned to me) or "New Activity Assigned To You (assigned to me). This is also true for workflows. With the email notifications in the Old CRM I was able to create a email rule where all…

  17. link an existing note to an existing activity

    Link Existing Notes to Existing Activities
    Under the Note Actions you can link an existing note to account - why not to an Existing Activity? I frequently need to clean up the data base for continuity and correctness. This would be a tremendous help to all admin users.

  18. Link Account to Multiple Contacts

    I would like to be able to link accounts to multiple contacts. Joint accounts, also trust accounts where the trustees may or may not be a part of the same household. It would also be nice for the purpose of linking a power of attorney to an account.

    Redtail has read this suggestion and there is some internal discussion needed in order to determine next steps. This suggestion is remaining open and can continue to gather votes and comments!

  20. Data import

    We really need to be able to perform data imports on our own, to import data for new clients via an upload file. It is cumbersome to have to enter data by hand or to have to email support whenever we need to enter new client data into Redtail.
